Creativity and community are at the heart of what we do. For us, that means mutual support, authentic connection, and real conversations.
We love engaging with inspiring creatives, nonprofits, and wellbeing-focused communities. If you’re here for collaboration and creativity, we’d love to connect.
If your goal is just numbers, we’re probably not the right fit. We’re here for genuine engagement.

We’re really grateful to have been awarded a £250 Sustainability Micro‑Grant from @creativelivescl

This support recognises the small, practical ways we build sustainability into our creative wellbeing work, from reusing materials to keeping sessions local and low‑waste.

The grant will help us continue offering welcoming, accessible creative sessions for adults who experience isolation or barriers to support.

Here’s a little glimpse of what’s been keeping us cosy this winter.

From snowman building in the cold to gonk making, festive cards, glass painting and 2D needle felting around the table, our sessions have been full of laughter, colour, and that gentle magic that happens when people create side by side. We’ve also enjoyed plenty of creative writing to warm the imagination while the temperatures dropped outside.

Thank you to everyone who’s joined us, shared ideas, tried something new, or simply shown up to be part of the community. These winter months feel brighter because of you. by @craftedwordscic

We're building a community where creativity thrives and creatives provide each other with mutual support and kindness. If that's you, we will always follow you back. If you're not creative but you're a non-profit, a charity, social enterprise or voluntary group we want you in our community too x by @craftedwordscic

Stove is lit, stewpot and kettle are on the stove. Nowhere we need to be but here, feeling cosy and creative in a wintery world. taken in Atherstone, Warwickshire by @craftedwordscic
